His voice scared Xuxu out of her wits .
She grabbed her chest and furiously glared at the man towering over her . She shrieked, "Why didn't you make any sound when you came in! You scared me!"
Yan Rusheng straightened his back and sat on the corner of a desk . He then stuffed his hands in the pockets of his pants . "Were you thinking of something shameful and was afraid of letting me know?" he asked in a frigid manner .
He had been standing behind her back for a good amount of time . Wen Xuxu was usually observant, and it was so unlike of her to not realize .
"What do you suppose am I thinking of?" Xuxu turned her chair around to face Yan Rusheng . She lifted her face and looked at him with a calm demeanor .
Upon seeing her face, the scion's own twisted with anxiety and worry . "Why do you look so pale?"

He stretched his hand towards Xuxu's face .
Xuxu intercepted his hand in mid-air . "It's nothing, I'll be fine soon . "
When her hand made contact with him, he was startled to the brim — Xuxu's hand felt cold to the touch . Without haste, he gripped her hand tightly and blurted out a series of questions, "Why is your hand so cold? Are you feeling unwell? I'll bring you to the doctor . "
He pulled Xuxu close to him .
Xuxu refused and shook her head profusely . "I'm alright, it's just a chronic problem . Don't worry . "
She then withdrew her hand . "I'll leave first . "
"What chronic problem?" Yan Rusheng grabbed her elbow and pulled her back . "Why didn't I know anything about this?"

Was she unwell these few years?
But it couldn't be . Her face was so pale and her hands were clammy and cold . Why didn't he notice anything if it was so serious?
Xuxu snapped, "It's a woman's chronic problem, do you have to probe further?"
There was dead silence in the air . Yan Rusheng finally understood what it was and he looked rather disappointed .
Even though it was fleeting, Xuxu still noticed it . She couldn't deny that felt the same way as well… disappointed and frustrated .
"I'll get back to work . " She bent her head and sounded a little forlorn .
Yan Rusheng didn't release his grip but instead embraced her tightly . "Is it still painful? I can give you a massage . "
His palm swiftly went further down and to her abdomen . He then began to massage it gently with the palm of his hands . His warmth seemed to penetrate through layers of clothing that it somehow warmed and soothed Xuxu's cramps .
She couldn't bear to break free from his grip and leave him, so he just allowed him as he pleased . His hands continued to massage her abdomen that was still throbbing with pain .
Time… if only it could stop at this moment .
But the clock didn't stop ticking and Xuxu realized that the afternoon was almost over .
"I need to get back to work and I need to leave on time later . Grandfather is brewing soup for me with a carp that he had caught . "
She wriggled out of Yan Rusheng's grasp .
"Not bringing me along?" Yan Rusheng decided to let go of his hands around her waist but instead gripped her hands, which, not much to his surprise were still cold . "If you don't feel well go to the room and just rest . "
Xuxu pushed his hand gently away and shook her head . "It's alright . I know my health well . "
"Why don't you bring me along to visit your grandfather?" Yan Rusheng pretended to be upset .
Xuxu smiled . "If you want to . "
This scion was obviously unwilling .
Yan Rusheng twitched his mouth . "… I'll pick you up tonight . "
Of course, he was still reluctant to go . The last time he went to Xuxu's grandfather's place to look for her, he received yet again a cold and hostile treatment from the old man .
